The Campground Host is a volunteer camper for a contracted period of time during the camping season. The host may be an individual or a couple. The host provides hospitality and information to other campers. The host is a camper with volunteer duties. No compensation is provided and the host receives no additional privileges.
The Campground Host signs an agreement with the County Parks Division that states the dates and duties of the host's service, and what the Division will provide, including necessary training. It also makes clear that there is no insurance for the volunteer host, who is responsible for his or her own liability. Because this is a position of public trust, a criminal background check will be run on applicants being considered as campground area hosts.
The host's function is hospitality. It is not the host's job to enforce regulations. It is not up to the Host to make sure that campers follow the regulations. Do not attempt to act as an enforcer. Notify park staff of any problem. If staff is unavailable or has left for the evening, call the Marinette County Sheriff's Department. Use your best judgement as to whether to call the regular number or 911. Enforcement is up to park staff and the Marinette County Sheriff's Department.
